I bought a stun gun similar to this with a Built-In Rechargeable Wall Plug and it did not charge. does this one actually charge?

Yes. This gun charges when plugged in and works well, if it's not shipped via UPS. If it's shipped by UPS, then it's most likely going to be damaged in some way.

can't answer question I return the one I bought i did not like, the fact that when i try to charge it the plugs would not go into the wall plugssafely so i can't tell you how it charges that was 1 of the reason i sent it back

it is not rechargable. I hope you have'nt bought it yet, the trigger switch will fail .I've had two, that I actually put in the trash out of frustration .They look nice and are brite but will not last more than a month or two .I am a plumber and thought I had the perfect light after a lot of years it was great for looking under buildings and spotting house numbers at night .but it's junk !they both failed the same way .the trigger switch just stopped working way to soon.

Yes, you just plug it into an outlet to recharge it. But you cannot charge something while you are recharging.

No-It appears to work by an automatic switch. When plugged in battiers off-[unless you have rechargeable batteries-then they are charging]-other wise the regular batteries are bypassed when it is plugged in. Michael Barnes

yes... but you dont have to touch them for the stun gun to go off and make noise. plus it has a real loud siren and Im telling you that alone will make someone think twice about attacking you... We gave this to my dad for a gift and he loves it because to charge it the plug is actual built into the gun and you can charge it at work or whatever. I would recommend this to anyone actually...

Neither did mine. I'm going to notify Amazon about that. This is the first time I've bought a re-chargable item that didn't have a wall charger.

It comes with a basic charger, however, with airsoft guns it is always best to buy a smart charger that will stop charging the battery once its fully charged. The charger that the gun comes with will overcharge the battery if left plugged in, which damages the battery.

I've charged it from the wall. I find the unit quite "funky" the lights stay red, you can't tell if charging is complete. The charge doesn't last long enough for emergency's. Just a weird little unit. I don't know if mine ever worked correctly. I've pretty much written it off as a "my bad."

it does charge. it cannot replace a regular socket however and the plugs do not work for plugging something in. It looks very fake.

No it is not rechargeable. If it is plugged in and it is not turning then it is broken.

I always plug it into a wall charger to charge it, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. However, you would think the charging light would come on either way, so it may very well be defective.

Mine had a small white plug which I plug into my computer or an external recharger. Mine did not have any recharger which I could plug to the wall outlet. I am not liking this product so far. The battery wears out in a few hours. I have to keep recharging it. I am considering returning the product. I am not sure what is the problem.

No, it doesn't. And to be honest, there is no way of charging the hopper without removing the battery. I was really disappointed to find no charging outlet on the hopper and having to insert the battery into my gun to charge it. Pretty ridiculous!

When you first get it, you are supposed to charge it for 10-12 hours and then 1-2 hours every month without use. It isn't very specific about charging it after use but I have just charged it for an hour or two after using it everytime. It comes with a little 8 inch cord charger that plugs into the bottom of the taser. It plugs straight into the wall, there isn't any USB involved. For $20, the flash light itself is awesome and worth it. Then you add the taser portion and it's an awesome deal.

This Stun Gun does not have electrified prongs. However, the electrical current that circulates around is almost 360. Meaning even if you jab from the tip the electricity will jump out out of the unit. You can practice on a metal bar to perfect the angles that are the most effective. You will see the electric current jump off of the Star Warrior into the metal. Just don't hold the metal while you are testing, for obvious reasons.

I have. it came with a charger. it looks liken to a very small extension cord. male n female end. 1 end inserts into unit the other end insert in house wall elect outlet. Mine arrived already charged. If mine didn't arrive with I would request part be mail at no out of pocket cost to me. to be simple, I would return.Thank YouPS refund and/are replace. If I were where he is I would think that unit had been used, re-boxed and resale. ( did you tell him it had been used before sold to him )

The directions advise to charge the device for 5 to 6 hours initially; and then 1 hour once a month to retain the charge. When you plug it in the LED turns red, but mine stays red (even after the 6 hours). The directions state not to overcharge it. Obviously if you use the light or taser function more often, then you most likely would have to charge it more frequently (or possibly longer than an hour). Also, the bright light can still be working and the taser part not fire if it's undercharged. I had this happen (I was walking and a dog was approaching me that seemed like it could bite [fortunately it didn't] but the taser didn't fire even though the light was still working. I thought it must be defective (it wasn't) I recharged the device and the taser works fine. I think that the taser must draw the charge down some (combined with using the light frequently, which I walk late evenings and it gets dark before I get home, so I've been using the light. The light is as bright as most car lights. And no, I would not have actually "tased" the dog at all, just fired in the air (because most all dogs are very frightened by loud sound it makes which is a good deterrent for being bit without causing any harm). The only caveat about "dry firing" the taser in the air is that only do that for a second at a time and then release, because according to the directions you could damage your taser if you fire it for a longer steady hold than one second bursts. Hope that answers your question. I have been very satisfied with this device and the extremely bright light for walking alone has been well worth it. Best of luck!
